PRODUCTION PHILOSOPHIES
Customer-based production order
Each component has a unique number
and is assigned to the customer order
(label with customer reference) early in
the production process. This production
method requires a high degree of
transparency, which is facilitated by the
use of a production control system.

10

HOMAG Group Made-to-measure furniture production

Longer post-production times


Harder to mix up components (label
with customer reference)
Less multiple depth storage which
means less use of capacity and
dynamics in the buffer, memory and
sorter

Component-based production order


The component can be used for
multiple customer orders. Each
component has a unique number and
is assigned to the customer order
(label without customer reference)
later on in the production process.

The high degree of flexibility fundamental


to this production method calls for the
use of a manufacturing execution system.
Higher sorting qualities required
Sorting and picking are done as late
as possible, so that the parts flow
remains flexible for longer (multiple
depth storage, changing sequences)

Post-production parts can be


taken from stock if required
High probability of multiple storage and
high capacity and dynamic utilization in
the buffer, storage or sorting system
Sequence of components
has no relevance

Industrial furniture production | Batch size 1 production

Order production by performance class.


In the furniture industry, high flexibility coupled with low production costs play a decisive role. Many
providers are increasingly relying on intelligent production on highly technical batch size 1 machines,
together with the correct handling and storage technology, an optimum material flow and automated
parts handling. With batch size 1 production, the HOMAG Group defines almost all machines by
performance class. The parts per shift indication is designed to give you an idea of the process: up
to 6 000 parts per shift depending on your requirements.

Splitting with batch size 1


HOLZMA and WEEKE offer solutions specifically for batch size 1 production in

completeLine: All-over coating

Combined with reacTec

completeLine systems are allrounders in the truest sense of the


word. They size and shape raw panels,
laminate the surfaces and seal off the
narrow surfaces along the sides. The
material to be coated, say, chipboard, is
wrapped with finishing film or patterned
paper in a continuous process.

In cooperation with companies Henkel


and Nordson the HOMAG Group
developed the reacTec laminating
system. Using a newly developed
adhesive that has no open time, the
benefits of hot bonding have been
carried over into a new process
without any of its drawbacks.

technical innovations in the fields of
industrial safety and ergonomics.

With the HOMAG Group we have found


a partner who is prepared to develop
concepts together with the customer.
Our clear aim was a unique production
concept for the production of 48 million
variants in 15 working days. Today,
we are working with an unmanned
production process at batch size 1,
using the worlds shortest workpiece
gap, label-free production and at 30%
higher capacity, all with the same
number of staff. From a mechanical
engineering and software point of view,
we have found a partner that can do it
all. Through our cooperation we have
created a complete work of art, which
is both everything we imagined and
which works. We are proud of that.

We rely on the latest manufacturing


techniques, including HOMAGs laserTec
process. The quality is impressive: The
results we achieve with the laserTec
machine at batch size 1 production are
outstanding. Our experiences over the
last few years clearly and verifiably show
that this system guarantees a consistent
laser edge quality. The response of our
customers is wonderful, and we now
produce almost 100% of our kitchen
panels in 19 mm with a laser edge. I
can honestly say we would do it all over
again and our machine operators
are thrilled. With laserTec, quality,
process reliability and ease-of-use have
significantly improved. woodworking

Since I started making kitchens in


my garage in the early eighties, I have
always been very proud to offer highquality products at affordable prices.
Euro-Rite has become the largest
RTA manufacturer of kitchen furniture,
bathroom cabinets and closets in western
Canada. In 2010 we had to significantly
expand our business. We decided to
go with the proven technology of the
HOMAG Group and chose HOMAG
Canada Inc. as a partner. Together with
the HOMAG Group Engineering we
designed a completely new plant and set
it up with a highly networked production
line. Since we started production in
the fall of 2013, Euro-Rite has been
making furniture at an unprecedented
level of quality in a highly efficient way.

The Adami Group Brazil operates in


both the domestic and export markets.
Our investment policy requires us to
find outstanding quality machines and
equipment from well-known and reliable
suppliers. For our latest investment,
a new door production system, we
contacted the worlds top machine
suppliers. The HOMAG Group seemed to
us the most qualified partner to develop
our project, showing us the best solutions
by far. We are really very pleased with our
partnership with the HOMAG Group.

With its headquarters in Guangzhou,


Sogal Home Collection Co., Ltd, is the
largest company for the construction
of custom built furniture in China and
Southeast Asia. In our production of
individual household furniture and closets
we must be able to work with highly
efficient flexibility in all our processes.
For this we rely on a complete solution
from the HOMAG Group, which
significantly increases our productivity
efficiency. It provides us with fast,
stable and continuous development
in our plants in Guangzhou, Beijing,
Chengdu and Shanghai. Over the long
term, with its products and cooperation,
the HOMAG Group has successfully
demonstrated itself as a reliable partner.

We have high standards for our products


and place great value on design and
originality. To be able to manufacture our
products efficiently, we need the right
technology. We needed a new system
to improve our quality and flexibility. We
developed our design together with the
HOMAG Group Engineering. The new
splitting station fits perfectly into the
surrounding processes and provides
high precision sizing and angles when
cutting the raw panels. With the edge
bonding machine we can produce
perfect invisible joints and also process
structured designs. Overall, we are happy
with our investment. We are ready for
the next demanding design ideas!
